Aerospace logistics is a familiar concept at Compass.
It’s the knowledge and skill that come with over five decades of supporting the world’s leading aerospace companies. It’s the energetic tempo driving our around-the-clock AOG operations. It’s the tradition of ingenuity and creativity embodied by our founder Joe Shelala when he became the first logistician to move an airframe by commercial airfreight.
Compass Forwarding excels in delivering tailored solutions that streamline the intricacies of aerospace transportation, supporting every sector of the aerospace vertical:
- Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)
- Maintenance, repair, and overhaul centers (MROs)
- Airlines and charter operators
- Aircraft and engine leasing companies
- Parts suppliers
- Trading companies
- Teardown and refurbishment companies
A.O.G.
A simple mission drives our AOG response time: to minimize downtime of our client’s aircraft. Our dedicated AOG team understands that time equals money and will innovate solutions with our global partners to meet any challenge or constraint.
Recognizing the urgency inherent in AOG situations, leading international airlines entrust Compass Forwarding with handling their company materials (COMAT) and AOG programs. Our AOG control tower is available 24/7/365 with global coverage for next-flight-out, on-board courier, and dedicated vehicle services.
